Abstract(s)
Num mundo cada vez mais digital, é fundamental compreender a importância da Internet na
participação social dos idosos. Esta população enfrenta vários desafios como a solidão e a redução
das oportunidades de envolvimento, o que pode afetar o seu bem-estar e qualidade de vida. Esta
investigação pretende aprofundar, se existem benefícios na utilização da Internet pelos idosos e de
que forma esta pode manter e dinamizar as relações sociais. Ao explorar este tema, pretendemos
conhecer a forma como as plataformas digitais podem servir como vias de ligação social, troca de
informações e construção de comunidades entre os séniores. O estudo utiliza uma abordagem
quantitativa para investigar a relação entre a participação social online e o bem-estar dos indivíduos
idosos. Será aplicado um inquérito por questionário a uma amostra diversificada de participantes
idosos, incidindo sobre os seus padrões de utilização da Internet, benefícios percebidos e medidas
de bem-estar. Serão efetuadas análises estatísticas, incluindo correlações para examinar a influência
do digital na participação social em várias áreas, como a saúde emocional, a ligação social e a
satisfação com a vida.
Em termos teóricos, a participação social dos idosos, será analisada de acordo com o modelo
ecológico do envelhecimento.
ABSTRACT: In an increasingly digital world, it is essential to understand the importance of the Internet in the social participation of the elderly. This population faces several challenges such as loneliness and reduced opportunities for involvement, which can affect their well-being and quality of life. This research aims to delve deeper if there are benefits of using the Internet by the elderly and how it can maintain and dinamize social relationships. By exploring this topic, we intend to understand how digital platforms can serve as avenues for social connection, information exchange and community building among older people. The study uses a quantitative approach to investigate the relationship between online social participation and the well-being of elderly individuals. A questionnaire survey will be apllied to a diverse sample of elderly participants, focusing on their Internet usage patterns, perceived benefits, and measures of well-being. Statistical analyzes will be carried out to examine the influence of digital social participation on various areas such as emotional health, social connection and life satisfaction. In theoretical terms, the social participation of the elderly will be analyzed according to the ecological model of aging.
